Hi Nathan, I'm liking the story so far, but there's one small technical thing that's causing me problems. Your MP3s are very quiet, very very quiet so much so that I can barely hear them on the train with the volume maxed out. I thought I'd fix it myself by normalising the files in Audacity and that's where I spotted what I think is the problem. In each of your files right at the beginning is a 20ms burst of static at full volume. The following audio is much quieter. When you try and normalise the file the process is fooled by the burst of very loud static which leaving the rest of the file really quiet. If you delete the static then normalise it works great and you end up with much louder audio. Sorry I've I've not explained myself very well... Go have a look, delete the static and re-normalise.

Liked the book a lot. Yes, I noticed the speed-reading. My only complaint is one I saw touched on in one or two other comments - you spend over half the book on setup for the concept that is what makes the book special. I mean, the stuff before the echoes is well-written and fairly interesting, but the echoes are the spark of the book. It seems to me that to fix that, you would need to do two things - more foreshadowing in the first half and then lengthen the second half substantially (so it would become more than half the book). I would certainly listen to the sequel.

I liked Echoes a lot. I thought that the characters could have used a little more developmental work, but other than that, the story was great. I love the concept of using ghosts...echoes if you prefer...as assassins. Looking forward to the sequel.
